Movie Talkers are the Worst of Humanity (A Reasonable Rant)

Thursday night I saw Iron Man Three. It was pretty good. Except for those dreaded movie talkers. Now, in my review I only devoted a paragraph to the dregs of humanity who found their own dialogue more interesting than Tony Stark’s. But that was only a fraction of what I really wanted to say. Let the rant begin. There are [...]

Iron Man 3: Marvel’s Answer to The Dark Knight Rises?

I’m sure by now that all of nerdom has seen the newest trailer for Iron Man 3. (If not, shame on you, and it’s at the bottom of this article.) Anyway, the trailer was pretty epic, and it made me even more excited to see it. It also made me a little more confident that Ben Kingsley’s Mandarin won’t be [...]

Dear Heath Ledger…You Are Missed.

January 22nd of this year marked the five year anniversary of the death of Heath Ledger. It’s hard to believe that it’s been that long. It feels like it was just yesterday the news was breaking on Ledger’s body being found in the SoHo apartment of Mary-Kate Olsen, dead of an apparent overdose. Autopsies would later discover that it was [...]

Heroine Fashion: Sexy but Impractical

Heroine Fashion: Sexy but Impractical

The women or heroines in sci-fi and action movies are often scantily clad, in head-to-toe leather with their boobs pushed up through a corset, or wearing skyscraper stilettos, but that really doesn’t bother me. I love sci-fi and action flicks, and the pros outweigh the cons.  I thought of this while searching for a new bikini because gravity has forced [...]

Gotham’s Greatest Hits: From Burton’s Baddies to Nolan’s Knight

So, The Dark Knight Rises. Have you heard of it? It’s supposed to be amazing, flawless, brilliant, exciting, masterful, adjective infinitum. I cannot and wish not to argue with those claims. I am building up  movie ticket funds and an appetite for Milk Duds at this very moment. However, if you’re even the slightest bit invested in pop culture, you’re probably [...]

Batman Dies [Rocking the Boat]

Along with the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises, there is a lot of speculation that Bruce Wayne is going to die, only to be replaced by this guy: Hey, it could happen! But, I don’t think that it will. In fact, I think it might be a deliberate ploy from director Christopher Nolan to surprise us later (How many of [...]

Why Are Comic Book Adaptations Popular?

If you are anything like me or basically a person at all, you probably saw The Avengers this weekend. It broke some records and and took all of our money this weekend. It also got me thinking. How did we get to this point? It wasn’t too long ago comic books and video games weren’t cool. They were fun, but [...]

The Avengers, The Dark Knight, And The Best Superhero Movie

The Avengers is out. It’s live. The culmination of five years at Marvel Studios and arguably the most ambitious film event since Warner Brothers decided to do eight sequential movies about a boy wizard. If you’ve seen it already then you know what I know. And if you haven’t… well let’s be real. By Sunday evening everyone will have seen [...]

DC Comics Roundup– Comic Book Families

The number 7s have hit the shelves, and with them comes something called the Seven Families, a grouping of sets of comics that are all centered around one story line. Over the years, it has been next to impossible to figure out what books to read if you wanted to get the full scope of a story. You never knew [...]

A Better Class Of Criminal [Things I'm Still Bitter About]

So, let’s talk about the Joker. The date is Jan. 22, 2008. It’s a new year with all kinds of possibilities. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are about to go head to head in a marathon primary towards the DNC. Iron Man is coming out in a few months, and it looks better than bad. And if the weather is [...]

DC Comics Review – Batman: The Dark Knight

This week was another slow week for comics. I only have three issues that are going to get a rating…and none of them are the one I’m reviewing today. Detective Comics – 3/5 Action Comics – 4/5 Red Lanterns – 5/5 Like I said, not much this week.  It was kind of a let down. As the title may have told you, [...]

DC Comics Reviews – Aquaman Focus

Welcome to my first comic review. Here is how it’s  going to work. Each week I will read the comics that I get and rate each one on a scale of 1-5, then pick one to review in depth. Most times the comic I will review will be what I think is best that week, other times it will be [...]
